This beautiful specimen features two dramatic, windswept, elongated crystals that are highly translucent. The first is perfect, and is an inch (2.5 cm). The larger one, arranged like a sailboat triangle above the center crystal, is even larger and just as nice, thought its back termination is missing off to the right (hence the low price for the piece). Still, the overall composition and size of the crystals is very appealing and its a superb example from the find at a good price, if you do not mind the right edge of one crystal there.
